– if you are like me you always skip those executive interviews since they never reveal anything interesting but this interview with Nancy Knipp, senior vice president at Airport Lounge Development spills the beans on Priority Pass and independent lounge payments

Skift: How much is an airline paying per head?

Knipp: We prefer not to answer because each of those contracts are confidential. But you can buy access for $40 if you’re just a customer off the street, so clearly it’s going be much below that. We’re not going to charge the carrier the same price we would for a single customer. That gives you an idea of where it would be. It is a very reasonable cost for what the carrier is looking for.
